Overview 

Designed from the ground up with a new built-in cellular modem the MX67C and MX68CW are designed to simplify any deployment that requires a cellular uplink. This is ideal for small remote locations with unreliable WAN circuit providers or for sites that want the highest level of redundancy and availability. The Meraki Dashboard in addition with the built-in cellular uplink allows for simple and easy deployment of the MX67C or MX68CW with minimal pre-configuration in almost any location. 

For smaller sites that don't require a cellular uplink but still need a capable device that can be easily deployed, the base models of the MX67 and MX68 are available without a built-in cellular uplink. The MX67 and MX68 are also available in Wireless models (MX67W / MX68CW) that can provide 802.11ac coverage for wireless clients.

Configuration 

The basic initial configuration of the MX67 and MX68 is just as simple as with other MX models. The links below provide additional information and instructions relating to each step in getting the device setup and configured for the first time. 

  1. Claim the device to an Organization on the Meraki Dashboard
    1. If a Dashboard Organization does not yet exist, Create one
  2. Add the device to a Dashboard Network 
    1. If a Network does not yet exist, Create one first
  3. Physically connect the device to the local network
    1. Before inserting the SIM card, ensure the SIM is activated with the PIN disabled or the correct PIN entered. It may be necessary to use an external modem, or work with the cellular provider to have the PIN disabled or the SIM unlocked. (Cellular models only)
    2. If a custom APN is needed, ensure it is applied from Cellular section of the Uplink tab on the Security & SD-WAN > Monitor > Appliance Status page. (Cellular models only)
    3. Insert an activated SIM card to allow the cellular uplink to function (Cellular models only)
    4. Ensure the cellular and/or wireless antennas are connected correctly (Cellular and Wireless models only) 
    5. Power on the device and let it check in to the Dashboard
    6. If necessary, configure a Static IP on the WAN interface through the Local Status Page to allow it to check in.
  4. Finish configuring the device from the Meraki Dashboard 
    1. Manage local VLANs
    2. Modify Firewall rules
    3. Configure VPN connectivity

Carrier compatibility is generally based on having compatible bands on the modem. In the open market, carriers may only require regulatory domain certifications and open market certifications, like the PTCRB and GCF, to be compatible for their network. Sometimes carriers will require additional testing before a device can be used on their network. The section Certified Carriers is based on Meraki device certifications being approved by those specific carriers. A carrier being listed above means that they have officially certified the Meraki product for their cellular network. There maybe many unlisted carriers could be functionally compatible with Meraki devices. The list of certified carriers is based on the carrier validating Meraki per their network parameter requirements. If a carrier you are looking to use is not listed above, it could be that they do not require additional compliance testing for their network.
